Tierra del Oro                          Los Pobres               In his mind's eye Ramóncito could see               the spring in the rocks where the stallion Del Oro drank,                           the bruja's cave in the wild Sierra Madre, the street in La Puerta del Sol where                                      Trouble was killed.    He imagined his father's face                  and dreamed of finding Trouble's treasure.                          Francisco        laughed at his dreams. The deception had begun ten years ago, when Trouble went with Francisco to La Puerta del Sol.      They rested in the plaza . . . where Trouble and Serafina met. Serafina, age 10        Francisco and Serafina buried Trouble   by the banks of the Sonora River. Jenny gave birth to Trouble's baby alone in his casita. She named him Ramóncito.     Manuelo met Mama and Ramóncito at the station. Gate at Casa Vasquez                       Tonio Ramóncito had seen all that Casa Vasquez had to offer. Road to the ruins The Rio Sangria was deeper and swifter than before. It was good to be home.                                                                  Light shone through a crack in the wall. Francisco played his guitar...                 and won Mama's heart. And brought all manner of change into Ramón's life. Mama was having a baby...    Francisco's baby. Ramón was no longer the center of the universe. It was time to seek his bandit grandfather's treasure.
